Ganesh Mandal President Jailed for Laser Beam Use
A man who is the president of a group that celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi was sent to jail for two days.
This is because he used bright laser lights during a festival parade, which the court said was not allowed.
The court also made him pay a fine of Rs 1,000.
This is the first time someone has been punished for this in the area.
The police said the lights were harmful and not supposed to be used like that.
The president of a Ganesh mandal was sentenced to two days in jail and fined Rs 1,000 for using harmful laser beams during the Ganesh immersion procession.
This is reportedly the first case of its kind in the Pimpri Chinchwad police commissionerate.
